In this case Mars is one of the sculptures inspired by the Kirkhill Pillar Project. It has been vandalised, i.e. stolen, since the scale representation of the red planet was an 8.7mm hole in a stainless steel disc on the post, and that disc is not now there. The Pentland Hills are 15km away to the south-east. For information see Image
